NFL owners voted Tuesday to move kickoffs up to the 35-yard line starting next season but touchbacks will remain at the 20-yard line. Teams also can continue to use two-men wedges.

The competition committee had originally proposed moving touchbacks to the 25-yard line and outlawing the use of wedge blocking.

Before Tuesday’s vote, several coaches expressed concerns to the committee about so many changes. They worried that bringing touchbacks out 5 more yards would affect field position too much. They also feared an increase in touchbacks.

The league reduced the number of players allowed in a blocking wedge to two in 2009.

Owners are also scheduled to vote on amendments to defenseless player rules for receivers, and on owing the replay official to review all scoring plays at any time in games.
